Fire and smoke certification reduces regulatory risk and accelerates qualification cycles; UL94 V0, RoHS, REACH compliance help simplify audits and component approvals for global deployments. The business impact is clearer risk management and faster time-to-market for safety-critical harnesses in transportation and industrial automation. The aluminium shell provides a robust yet lightweight housing, improving harness management and reducing overall system weight, while black anodized plating enhances corrosion resistance without compromising mating reliability. Shell size 22 with a straight backshell keeps routing simple and mating straightforward in tight spaces, enabling easier field replacements and faster rework if needed. The VGE1-FER1 family compatibility supports scalable, standardized harnesses, lowering procurement complexity and inventory carrying costs. End-user confidence rises from a proven platform with predictable lead times, aiding lifecycle planning and maintenance scheduling. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C ensures reliable performance across diverse environments, while 500-hour salt spray resistance confirms durability in harsh wash-down and coastal conditions. These features collectively reduce downtime and total cost of ownership in safety-critical installations.
